Low Competition Print on Demand Trends 2026 (Animal Meme Pattern)

About this video

The creator shares a trending animal meme pattern he found doing research in Amazon’s Hot New Releases: a raccoon drinking iced coffee, sitting on a sidewalk in a meme-style design, which he says is ranked around 56K, was uploaded on January 24th, 2026, and is already selling consistently less than a month later; he notes a similar listing appears to have been taken down. He shows the same concept on Redbubble and Etsy and explains how to scale it: swap the animal for dog breeds and other creatures already appearing in the pattern, including a golden doodle, German shepherd, corgi, French bulldog, English bulldog, pug and wiener dog, plus a possum, and suggests a frog or goose. He warns to change the beer can in a possum design so as not to infringe the beer company. A second, earlier-stage pattern he flags is dogs eating pizza: he reviews Etsy listings with the EverBee tool, citing examples with over 1,000 views at one month old and another three months old with seven sales, arguing the views show traction even though sales velocity is not yet proven, so it is a test-the-market opportunity to get ahead of competitors. He closes by pitching his Top Research Design Vault at $10 a month, which he says gives access to over 1,800 niches plus 20 new niches weekly with links, keywords, competition scores, design angles and prompt ideas.

Key takeaways

• Treat a fast-ranking new release, like the raccoon drinking iced coffee uploaded January 24th, 2026, as a pattern signal that the style is selling consistently.
• Scale a winning meme concept by swapping the animal across dog breeds (golden doodle, corgi, French bulldog, pug and others) and creatures such as possums, frogs and geese.
• Watch view counts on young listings, e.g. over 1,000 views in one month, to spot a pattern such as dogs eating pizza before its sales fully take off.
• Modify any branded element in a found design, such as the beer can, and double-check trademarks and copyright before publishing your version.
• Find new ideas by analysing patterns across Amazon, Etsy, Redbubble, Google and social media rather than relying on a single research method.
